[QUOTE="Thundercat, post: 363814, member: 51047"] Hi! First of all I know nothing about the effects of magnesium on bs. It would be great of it could help with bs control. I am really alarmed and concerned about your lack of hypo symptoms. I understand that it is not your aim to maintain hypo levels but even if your hypos are rare a warning system is important. I hate hypos. I hate the symptoms but I would hate it more to lose them. For me they are essential- a necessary evil. Of magnesium improves brain function etc it is surely impossible for it to enable the brain to function without fuel - glucose. Its a bit like having a car and not realising the fuel gauge is broken. You can be driving along thinking there is fuel in the tank but when the fuel is gone that car is going to stop. You are fortunate that you never dropped that low and I am genuinely happy for you. But to my mind it is too much of a gamble to run so low without symptoms if you have a choice. Not everyone does. Occasional unexplained highs are deeply annoying when you are working hard for good control. They are also something of an inevitability.
